Stay Away!
Players are researchers trying to identify a hidden shapeshifter that can possess and clone human bodies. Through rounds of card exchanges and seat changes, players discover whether they remain Human or become Infected when they receive an "Infected!" card. Humans cooperate to deduce the Thing’s identity and eliminate it with a Flamethrower card, while newly Infected switch allegiance and work to conceal the Thing. The game adds event cards (grenades, mirror reflections, dynamite) and special effects that alter turns and player roles, plus an optional Adrenaline mode that permits more card play each turn.
